cooks ... chili tasting too salty

jacksjerseygirl · February 2010

anything I can add to the pot to cut the salty taste? I should have picked up no-salt or reduced-salt canned tom but didn't.

a little honey sometimes balances out chili.

brown sugar...?

i meant to add, it depends on the chili, i know the 3 bean chili i make w/ no meat, Honey takes away some of the spice and the salt

Maybe someone else can chime in on this but I thought I heard that adding potato to things reduces the saltyness???

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'm gonna taste test again in 30 minutes to see where we are ... ugh.

I always put brown sugar in my chili its adds a nice flavour.

I've added more water, another can of beans and some brown sugar - hopefully that will even out the saltiness.

Thanks again!

Brown sugar (I actually put 1/4 cup in my chili to balance out the super hotness I also add).

Potatoes will also take away saltiness. Just cut some in half (depending on how big a pot of chili you have), drop them in and cook for a little while. Then just pull the potatoes out. Works every time.

This.

You can toss a whole potato in the pot. The potato will absorb some of the salt.

Stick a whole potato in it, it will help absorb some of the salt.
